The developer worked his ass off to repurpose his app to Lemmy for us.
I was more than happy to pay for his time. Hard work deserves reward. If people aren’t going to pay him and use the free version, which you’re welcome to, then he makes his money from ads (which pay fuck-all)
You’re just a bunch of cheapskates who want to be entertained for nothing.
He was implementing regional pricing this morning and looks like that should be happening today and tomorrow. I think that’s part of the reason so many people love Sync since the dev is ultra responsive.
As far as I’ve read, that price is for both no ads and Ultra which I guess gives you more perks). For just no ads it is significantly less. For no ads in my version it’s $30CAD, which is a high price but is much much less than $100+CAD
No, that’s lifetime ultra. A totally different thing, if you feel you need to pay more for a few extra features. You can also pay $20 to remove ads for a lifetime.
ya went a little too far at the end there. nothing wrong with not wanting to pay a subscription fee lol. its not a noble cause to pay some dude who made an app we dont need
Not to mention, there are still a bunch of free options in other apps. Voyager, Memmy, modem, liftoff!, etc. Use one of those if you’re too cheap to pay for someone else’s work, yknow?
i never bitched about $20. its so funny how many times i had to explain this. i didnt use the app because i already had a free app that i dont pay for. i see no reason to use the paid app. somehow that completely reasonable decision makes me a “cheapskate”. I dont even know how you could read what I just said and think that reply would make sense.
Lol wow… Get off your high horse there. I didn’t ask for Sync for Lemmy, so why should I pay for it? I’m perfectly happy with the many other free apps that are in development.
It’s weird to think people are using the web app on mobile, though… Like… Why? There are so many great free options! Like, seriously… More than half a dozen!
You can maneuver all you want, it is spyware. My hobby work is free. I don’t track my users nor do I inundate them with ads. I believe that’s unethical.
My work work is not available for free in any capacity whatsoever.
Rightfully so, because it tracks you, collects and sells your data and inundates you with ads, which is literally every single fucking thing lemmy was built to get around.
You got the money, you do you. His hardwork have nothing to do with how much i’m willing to pay lol, the end result is what i pay for, and it’s not worth the price to me.

The major issue for some is regional pricing. Where I’m from lifetime costs around $110 in regional currency

It’s a one-time $20. It’s literally in the meme were both commenting on.
Irrelevant to my point but either way I saw other posts about a subscription.
If you don’t need it just don’t buy it. You’re bitching about someone wanting money for their hard work.
Not to mention, there are still a bunch of free options in other apps. Voyager, Memmy, modem, liftoff!, etc. Use one of those if you’re too cheap to pay for someone else’s work, yknow?
I FUCKING ALREADY AM
WHY DOES NOT BUYING SYNC MAKE ME CHEAP? Look! A guy made an app that costs money! What? You don’t want to use it? You’re cheap!
I mean…I don’t use it. But I’m not the one bitching about $20.

dumbfuck i wasnt the one bitching. read what i wrote asshole
I see more aspects of reddit have made it here. great.
It’s a forum. Not everything is reddit.
Someone correct me but IIRC the Reddit Is Fun paid version costed way less that 20$.
I hope they release Lemmy Is Fun or something.

He doesn’t deserve any reward for making spyware/adware garbage. His app is at odds with the ethos of lemmy. Fuck your ad hominem.
Lol spyware 🤣🤣
Do you work for free?

Good job you’re not using an android phone so it doesn’t matter!
It’s his full time job, so his "work work " isn’t free in any capacity either, you either pay with ad revenue or you pay with $20
He chose to go down that path. No one forced him. It’s a brain dead argument mate.
Oh and btw, it is free in some capacity. You do not have to pay to use the free version. It’s literally called the fucking free version.
The free version with ads that pay the developer that everyone’s losing their minds over like they’ve never seen an advert before.
Rightfully so, because it tracks you, collects and sells your data and inundates you with ads, which is literally every single fucking thing lemmy was built to get around.
Or is it just a continuation of the usual Google platform. Being used on a Google phone with a Google account.
You got the money, you do you. His hardwork have nothing to do with how much i’m willing to pay lol, the end result is what i pay for, and it’s not worth the price to me.
